skymama 37 #27 May 23, 2006 Yes, they averaged about $1000 a car wash. They did it for 8 hours, splitting it into 4 hour shifts. They were at a 7-11, so they also had a cut open soccer ball where they collected money by the door and on the curb. They are lucky in that their season is during the holidays, so there are a lot of people out shopping.She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nightingale 0 #28 May 23, 2006 If you're going to a large event, find out if they'll let you do a 50/50 raffle. Sell tickets for a buck each, and at the end of the evening, if you take in $500, the winner gets $250, and you get $250 for your project. Talk to some sympathetic professors and secretaries at school. Ask them to help you. Tell them you want to set up a booth with 5 gallon bottles with their pictures on the bottles. Advertise that students will have the opportunity to whip-cream pie the professor whose picture is on the bottle that gets the most money dropped in it. Have the bottles at the most populated area on campus at lunch time with a big sign advertising what you're doing. My school's animal law society had an awesome contest to raise money that is kinda similar to the pie the prof one above. They had people submit the cutest photo of their pet, laid them all out on a table with cups above each photo, and people would drop their spare change in the cup of the pet they thought was cutest. They raised about $1K, and the winners got mouse pads with their pet's picture (you can get those made at the mall for about $10). Also, many local restaurants will dontate a portion of the proceeds from an evening to a cause/club. They give you fliers to hand out, and when anyone comes in with the flier, the restaurant donates 10% of their bill. Most will even let you stand outside the restaurant during that time and hand out the fliers to people walking in. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
